As for Jack, I think he has a specific plan in mind for stopping that giant bear and which requires a specific dwagon type.

Well, he better hope that specific type is red, because they're the only ones that are immune to fire.

Unless you're willing to assume that teddybear have some form of fire resistance, I'd say that it is evident that immunity hadn't been necessary to survive the explosion. Moreover, all not-red-or-green dwagons probably had had been much farther from battle lines and epicenter of the explosion.

I feel a bit cheated, though. When we last saw cortyard it looked like there's nothing living there except a lone teddybear, and now there's all these dwagons. Have they been hiding, or what?

Cubbins is still incapacitated, buried under all the rubble. Even if Parson et all manages to capture/croak everyone in the throne room, they still wouldn't have ownership of the city to put out the fire...

Looks like Parson has his full complement of decrypted soldiers and those who cried foul should be pleased that some reds survived the massive explosion. After all, if they're immune to fire, they should be able to start smothering some of the flames with their bodies, if Erfworld physics allows such a thing and Jack thinks of it.

We'll just have to wait and see if Jack found something better to bring to Parson's rescue. Oh, the suspense!!

They are all plush animal dolls or animated animal characters from the 1980's [edit: All of which have been marketed as plush toys]. I guess Raggedy Ann and GI Joe could both also fit that description, but they both go back a lot farther. Now Parson needs to man up and rip out her candy heart.

Chubblehttp://www.ghostofthedoll.co.uk/Toys_Chubbles.htmThey live on love, which makes them an especially unusual war cry. Maybe they all starved to death because they ain't around no more."Chubbles and friends were produced by Animal Fair in 1984-85. They were interactive plush toys, which reacted to either light or sound with flashing eyes, noses or beeps [sic]. There was also a small set of plastic figures which also lit up."

Snorks are smurf-class animated failures. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snorks"The Snorks is an animated television series produced by Hanna-Barbera which ran on NBC from September 15, 1984, to May 13, 1989."

Monchichis (technically, "Monchhichi") are also in production under franchise in separate countries. Gund makes* some of them, but Mattel holds the US license. They started in the 70's but there was a Japanese animated show for them beginning in 1980. I'm not sure if it showed outside Japan, however.

The Wuzzles was a very lame animated series involving bizzare hybrid creatures, like a cross between a bee and a lion. (Not named Eric). "With only 13 episodes of Wuzzles, it was one of the shortest running animated series produced by Disney. One season later, Wuzzles moved to ABC (which was eventually sold to Disney) for reruns, and disappeared from network television after that." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wuzzles

*Probably all made in China or Vietnam, actually. But that brings up the question of what it actually means to create something. Never mind.

[edit] If you find a weird looking animal toy from Disney, it's probably a Wuzzle. More people have hurt their bare feet from stepping on them than have actually seen the show.

I'm amused by the facetious thought that the crucial plot reason that the orientation of the room needed to be corrected was so that the bear could use its right arm to swat Parson down the stairs. The quill-like cursive script is a nice touch.

The color of the dwagon is going to telegraph what Jack's thinking, or it wouldn't be so conspicuously unrevealed. So I agree with pink. If Slately has grenades, then the earlier information that Trammenis couldn't even scratch his nose when gummed up may be significant.

Heh, the pewed stabber is holding his sword wrong, just like Parson was. Antium + all those decrypted stabbers + no yellow liveried stabbers left suggests that GK is very much on top of this fight. I hope Antium is having the stabbers screen him, because him being dusted is the most likely way that the tide could be briefly turned back until the dwagon comes in and stacks with Parson. I like Antium, so I hope that he doesn't get dusted just to make Parson look useful.

Hah, nice thought, though I'd guess the orientation quirk would be to ensure that Ace enters through the side that could let the dwagon in rather than from the city walls zone that the dwagons could not join from.

Not sure I agree that Antium+Infantry>Ace+Battle Bear+lazer Clonely. You're probably right, but this seems a bit like a small scale version of the battle that took out Ansom's former column, and we all know how that ended. I'd bet Antium will do some damage before getting zorched, and Ace will just heal it up. Then Parson+Dwagons gets their crack.

Not to turn this into a MMO, but right now team JS has the holy trinity going for them (i.e. tank, damage dealer, healer).

Like the Snorks, there was a Hanna-Barbera US animated series (distinct from the Japanese show) for the Monchhichi in the early 1980s. It was pretty short lived and terrible.

I had a Wuzzles stuffed animal growing up. It was a lion/bee. My sister had an elephant/kangaroo. They were pretty cool stuffed animals, but I didn't know they were based off a television show until much later.
